About PAL-Robotics TALOS
TALOS is a high-performance humanoid bipedal robot designed and developed by PAL Robotics to aid in various research areas. It is fully developed using the Robot Operating System (ROS), which makes it entirely configurable based on the user's requirements. TALOS is 1.75 meters tall and is capable of lifting objects up to 6 kg with one arm fully extended. This humanoid robot is equipped with an EtherCAT communication network that enables highly reactive and dynamic motions, essential for effective performance in fast-paced environments like Industry 4.0 factories. One key feature is its full torque controllability, which stems from the torque sensor feedback in all joints. This makes the robot suitable for multi-contact motions and interactions in dynamic environments. TALOS also includes customizable head and gripper to adapt to specific user needs. It uses the Ubuntu LTS and Real Time OS, and its simulation model is freely available. TALOS has been successfully used in top labs globally, driving advanced research in robotics, AI, and human-centered tech.
